Answer: True
Explanation:
It is indeed possible for Investment A's annual percentage rate (APR) to be less than Investment B's APR but the only way that Investment A can have a higher EAR is if it has more compounding periods in the years.
For instance, assume Investment A has an APR of 25% to be compounded daily and Investment B has an APR of 26% to be compounded semi-annually, their EARs would be:
EAR A = (1 + 25%/365)³⁶⁵ - 1
= 28.4%
EAR B = (1 + 26%/2)² - 1
= 27.7%
Proving that APR can be less but EAR will be more.
